Excellent vibes, artistic interior design & wide space. Very cozy environment to chat & work, or just to chill out alone. Kids & adults all have place to stay & find their comfortable zone. Fair price with well attentive staff. Sandwiches is freshly made so during weekend rush hour could be a bit slow, yet pizzas are faster from my observation. Coffee service was efficient. Very innovative & artistic style bathroom as well. Gender neutral.

Nice spot to work or study!
Amea Café has a really cozy vibe ; perfect for getting some work done or studying with a coffee ☕?💻
The food & drinks are good, & the prices are pretty reasonable for a downtown café. The only downside is that it can be hard to find a spot to sit sometimes, especially during busy hours.
Overall, a solid choice if you're looking for a chill place in the city!

This place is cozy, nice vibes, the only thing maybe is that it can get loudy, probably not the best place to do work in peace.

The fungi sandwich is certifiably mid. The Shakshouka, however, is pretty good. Coffee is hit or miss, but usually good. The vibe is 10/10. Too bad thy close at 4.

I tried the prosciutto sandwich & a matcha latte with almond milk. The matcha was average, but the sandwich was pretty good. A little pricey (70 something for two) & busy/loud but overall a cute little place in a office building vibe.

The pistachio latte is amazing! Also their croissant (the regular) is so buttery & fluffy, it is absolutely worth going there for it. Their specialty croissant ( pistachio filling) didn't live up to the hype. The dough itself was stale & the filling was too sugary & artificial tasting. The atmosphere though is great for a chill morning. I went there three times just for the vibes!

Came here for brunch & had a wonderful avocado & mushroom crostini. Was not too busy despite coming on a Saturday at 10:30. The decor & vibes were beautiful to enjoy with company or to study. Definitely worth your time to check out if you are in the area.

The vibes & the aesthetic are top notch. It's a sleek & well polished spot. The iced blue matcha drink was pretty interesting.

Had an awesome late morning at Café Améma with my 13-year-old son & nephew on Saturday. The place was buzzing with energy, but the service was still quick & super friendly. Even with the rush, everything came out fresh & fast.
I had the gnocchi, which was packed with flavor, & we shared the burrata so creamy & delicious. The vibe was just right modern, relaxed, & welcoming for all ages.
After a couple of hours of chilling & enjoying ourselves, we realized just how great of a place it was-comfortable, inviting, & the kind of spot you just want to hang out at.
Before heading out, I couldn't resist sneaking in a cannoli for dessert & I'm so glad I did. Perfectly crispy, creamy, & just the right amount of sweet. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!

The vibe is fantastic, beautiful spacious place to work, meet friends/colleagues, chill or have a nice brunch/food. Different furniture setups for various preferences. I tried cheese & mushroom toast which was great & a dessert with coffee. They were tasty & great.

Stumbled upon this hidden café gem in downtown Montreal, & wow, it's a game-changer for business meetings! This place is not your average café - it's spacious, flooded with natural light, & has an unbeatable vibe that just fuels your productivity & creativity. It's perfect for escaping the office or those repetitive video calls. They serve up some delicious lunch options too, but here's a pro tip: schedule your meetings before noon. It's quieter then, & you'll easily snag the best spot before the lunch rush kicks in. Trust me, after a productive morning meeting in this energetic atmosphere, you'll be ready to dive into their lunch menu. Definitely my new go-to for business meet-ups in Montreal. It's like this café was made for brainstorming & deal-making, all while sipping on great coffee & enjoying the bright, welcoming space. Don't just take my word for it, experience it for yourself!

Stopped to grab a bite & coffee after a walk on Mt-Royal. Super cute, great vibes. The brunch menu looked delicious & reasonably priced with various options. We had an iced latte, an iced blue matcha, & a DELICIOUS pistachio croissant stuffed with strawberries & rhubarb (OMG!!) Coming back to try the other flavours 😋

Cool vibes, GREAT coffee, tasty pastries!!!
Had to grab some fresh croissants right out of the kitchen to take for later. Washrooms were very cool too. Waitstaff were very friendly & engaging.
